What brings you here?
I'll help shield you with the umbrella.
Thank you.
Did you fight with Mr. Fang?
It's not like that.
It's just a small misunderstanding.
Try this.
Thanks.
What do you think?
Did it help lift your mood?
It's pretty good.
Sure enough, sweets can lift your mood.
From where I'm from
when I was young,
sweets are foreign treats.
Whenever I'm feeling down,
I'll have one.
My mood will be better after that.
I used to be able to have great moods.
But ever since I met Fang Leng,
I've been worrying a lot.
Seems like I need to prepare more of these sweets.
Where did you get them?
How can I ever tell you?
If I tell you,
wouldn't I run out of business?
Forget it. Look.
It's drenched.
Don't continue sitting here. You'll catch a cold.
Why don't I send you home?
Has your mood adjusted for the better?
Slowly. It's slippery here.
Alright.
I'll see you off here.
Thanks for sending me home.
It's nothing.
Call me anytime whenever you feel like having sweets.
I'll treat you.
Thank you.
Also,
when you're feeling down,
let me know too.
I'm willing to be your friend.
Why does your smile
look so familiar?
It's like we've met before.
In that case,
we should be friends even more, right?
You're right.
Come.
Okay.
Seal of approval.
Sure.
Alright, hurry and go in.
Bye-bye.
I understood what you meant.
After having contact with him,
I think Mr. Fang is quite reliable.
As a senior,
you should give more room for your juniors to grow.
How did Mr. Fang persuade you?
Still, I'm not the only one who thinks that
he's incapable of handling this matter.
I still have business to attend to. Farewell.
Sure.
Bye, Lihua.
Mr. Fang.
You...
What happened to you?
Are you alright?
Hello, Ms. Li.
Ms. Li?
Say, Mr. Fang.
You only got rained on
but you've already forgotten
Ms. Chen's surname?
Mr. Fang sure is a forgetful person of high rank.
Then, I'll get going.
Ms. Chen, have a safe trip.
Have a safe trip, Ms. Chen.
Mr. Fang. I'm here.
Why did it suddenly rain?
Didn't you...
It's fine.
Your encounter with Ms. Chen's too little.
Even if you knew her for a long time,
it'll be difficult to form a deep memory.
Next.
(Dangerous person) Do you still remember Ms. Chai?
Didn't you go shopping with her earlier?
How could you forget so quickly?
Anyway, no matter.
I'll introduce her grandly once more.
(Dangerous person Chai Xiaoqi) That's your true love, your destined partner.
Who told you we're destined partners?
Go and notify Chai Xiaoqi
that she's fired.
You scared me for a moment there.
It's good that you didn't forget.
Mr. Fang.
You're laying off Ms. Chai
because you want to make her your wife, right?
(Dangerous person Chai Xiaoqi)
(Popular drinks)
I'm what? I got fired?
Hello?
I got fired.
It'll be fine.
Didn't you commit many things that are out-of-line?
Mr. Fang always forgave you, right?
But I have a feeling that
he's more furious than ever this time.
It's different from how he usually is.
I saw a quote online once.
It said that misunderstandings between a man and a woman are like a concoction.
Once everything's cleared, their relationship will be even better.
Really?
(Fang Leng CEO)
Mr. Han.
Book a hotel for me tonight.
You're not going back home tonight?
Who knows.
Maybe Ms. Chai wants to explain herself.
I'll book immediately.
If you dare tell her
the address of the hotel,
you don't have to come in for work tomorrow as well.
Mr. Fang, please be rest assured.
I've worked for you for a long time.
I have that much decency still.
(An Unknown Yue Lao)
Why is he staying at a hotel?
Could it be that he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore?
I shouldn't have lied from the beginning.
The thing is,
I don't mean to lie to him.
What should I do?
Wasn't it just a little lie?
Just apologize will do.
Let me tell you two.
As long as your apology
is done with a sincere heart
and some affection,
you'll definitely be forgiven.
Really?
Of course.
Has Sister Chai ever lied to you?
But we've lied to you before.
What?
Actually,
I'm not...
What did you two lie to me about?
We're just joking. We've never lied to you before.
So did you two lie to me or not?
- We didn't. - Actually, we've lied
to you ever since our first meeting.
We were lying about us joking.
We can't lie to Sister Chai anymore. We need to tell her the truth.
Actually, we're not...
I knew it from the beginning.
Are you planning to say that
the both of you are not Chunjiao's daughters?
Last time, the landlady called me.
She mentioned before that
her daughter had migrated overseas.
Then...why are you not angry?
It's not like I stayed with you kids
for only a short while now.
I know that you two are good children.
The lie at the beginning must be because you two didn't have a choice.
Only those who are cornered will do so.
Am I right?
Besides.
You two are terrible at lying.
If I did not take you two in,
what'll happen to both of you outside?
-Thank you. -Sister Chai.
I deliver more takeaways to repay you.
Then I'll help Sister Chai keep more money.
Be careful, you two.
This eye mask is new.
Xiaoqi.
If you really want to repay me,
hurry and apologize to Mr. Fang.
In the future,
my coastal style hotel
still needs Mr. Fang's investment support.
You're right. That's a fact.
(Kaiyue Hotel)
What I wanted to say is
our overall summary report
needs more summarizing.
Hello. Room service.
Please wait a moment.
Put the food on the table will do.
Mr. Wang, do you have anything to comment on?
Regarding page six in the document,
profitability needs to be readjusted.
The marketing department will
(Sorry) have to re-formulate the plan.
Mr. Fang.
Do you still have matters to attend to at the hotel?
I've told you all before. During meetings,
don't mention personal matters.
Also, on page eight.
Remember well.
The quarterly feedback must be updated.
Especially since our last meeting.
This issue had been brought up at that time.
Advertising department, are you listening?
Do you still remember?
Mr. Fang.
Why don't
you settle your personal matter first?
How many times did I tell you?
No matter what happens,
our meeting can't be interrupted.
What are all of you trying to say?
♪I'm afraid that I'll be late to tell you♪
♪As long as Fang Leng forgives Xiao Qi♪
♪Xiao Qi can only be happy that way♪
♪As long as Fang Leng forgives Xiao Qi♪
♪Xiao Qi can only be happy that way♪
What are you singing?
I'm apologizing to you.
Once you eat this forgiveness cake,
you'll be full of energy and not be angry.
Mr. Han.
Call security for me.
No. Stop. Please don't.
Who asked you not to go home tonight?
You didn't even give me chance to apologize.
I can't say it even if I wanted to.
Give me 10 minutes.
I have no mood to listen to you.
Five minutes.
- I need to work. - Three minutes.
I have a meeting.
One minute.
Sure.
It's about...
What I want to say is...
What did I want to say again?
Why don't you ask me then?
Ask whatever you'd like.
I promise not to lie.
Okay then.
Please tell me.
Why're you pretending to be my neighbor?
(I definitely can't tell you this.)
(It's to collect hormones.)
This...
I can't tell you.
Then why must you pretend
to be my ex-girlfriend?
(I was worried that my alien identity will be exposed.)
(I didn't have a choice.)
I...I can't tell you this either.
Why did you approach me in the beginning?
(Because I want to collect your hormones of course.)
This...
I can't tell you.
Chai Xiaoqi.
You said you specially came here
to apologize to me.
But since just now,
you didn't even give a single explanation.
I've really never met
someone as shameless as you.
That's not it. Please...
Don't appear in front of me again.
If not, I'll call the police.
Police? Anything but that.
You can't call the police.
Anyhow, I've made perfumes for your company.
I'm of value to the company.
You can't fire me.
The Future Group
doesn't need a liar for a worker.
That...that won't do.
I remember for the Future Group,
written in the contract agreement,
unless a serious mistake has been made,
the company can't just fire their workers.
Also, those that are derelict at work.
I don't fit into any of those two.
Why am I fired? I can't accept it.
Above article 33 on the fourth page.
What kind of contract agreement was that?
Who wrote it for you?
An unknown old man.
What are you even talking about?
I'm telling you the truth but you don't believe me.
That's your problem.
I can allow you to continue working for the company.
But whether or not you could take it,
that's up to you.
What do you mean?
Aren't you staying here?
Hurry up and leave.
Stay if you're good,
leave if you're not.
Such an old tactic.
Can't you upgrade it?
(Meeting room)
Chai Xiaoqi.
You'll handle this.
Mr. Fang.
This is The One design company.
He's really hard to get through.
We've discussed with him back and forth a total of five times.
The contract agreement also underwent seven revisions.
In the end, it's still denied.
Was he not satisfied
with our compensation?
It has nothing to do with money.
They dared to say
our contract restricts
their creative freedom.
From how I see it,
I think they are deliberately looking for trouble.
They never wanted to sign with us from the beginning.
So my advice is to
give up collaboration with this company.
Furthermore, you asked Xiaoqi to handle this.
She...she's never done contract negotiation before.
She's inexperienced. It's no use.
That's right. Am I right, everyone?
I agree.
Ms. Chai.
- Ms. Chai. - Here.
I still stand by what I said earlier.
From today on,
the projects done by The One design company
will be under the responsibility of Chai Xiaoqi.
Dismissed.
What?
This...
How can this work?
This won't do. This won't do.
What happened?
Ms. Chai.
All the best.
Previously, you asked me to run errands for that company and that's fine.
But you're asking me to negotiate a contract with them this time.
I can't do it.
What if I mess it up?
What if I tarnished the company's reputation?
If you can't do it, just resign.
The necessary documents are with Mr. Han.
I want results by tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow afternoon?
Are you insane?
Unscrupulous businessman.
I had a feeling that he'll make things hard for me.
But I never thought it'll be this hard.
Aren't the charms of an arrogant director
is his unpredictability and hard-to-approach attitude?
If he's always gentle and pleasant,
he'll just be the second male lead.
Ms. Chai.
Good luck.
I believe in you.
Bullying the wife brings momentary joy, the climax of the story about to begin.
Will the female lead see light at the end of the tunnel
and turns things around,
or will she be exhausted
by the abuse of the tyrant male lead.
What did Ms. Chen say?
Ms. Chen is in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Fang Leng
addressed her name wrongly that day.
Ms. Chen's mood
changed for the worse.
For someone as cautious as Fang Leng,
how did he make such a lowly mistake?
I even heard Mr. Han
asking if he'd met with another person.
It looked like he was worried something bad might happen.
In that case, hurry and investigate this matter.
What sound was that?
You're here.
I almost got caught. I was scared to death.
Didn't you say you wanted to eat grilled sausage last time?
Thanks.
There are still more.
How is it? Is the grilled sausage tasty?
It tastes the same.
But for grilled sausage,
it tastes better eating it
while strolling by the roadside.
When can I get out of the house again?
Lately, I've been watching a lot of TV series.
If you want to get out,
I've got three ideas.
What ideas?
First.
Give up on your painter's dream
and listen to your mom.
Then, inherit hundreds of millions worth of property.
That won't do.
Painting is my passion.
If a human doesn't possess any passions,
even an anchovy won't look up to you.
Canceled.
Then, the second one.
Completely cut off from your family.
Become a pauper chasing your dreams.
In theory, it's possible.
But if the Fang family
loses a precious child like me,
wouldn't my dad, mom, and brother
be heartbroken?
For their sake, I can't do this.
It makes sense.
Then, only the third idea is left.
It is the one that tests your acting skills the most.
Outward devotion but inner opposition.
What does that mean?
Think about it.
What does your mom wish for you the most?
- Study finance abroad. - Wrong.
She wishes you to work with the Future Group.
That's why she sent you abroad to study finance.
That's why,
it doesn't matter where you study.
That's not the most important part.
I get it now.
What you mean is also
for me to think of a way
to study locally,
so I can use that as an excuse to continue painting?
That's right.
According to my calculation,
the probability of getting away with it is very high.
But I get sleepy when I read a finance book.
I won't be able to pass the exam.
If I can't pass the exam, I won't have an acceptance letter.
I can't fool my mom without an acceptance letter.
Leave this to me.
Really?
Thank you so much, Xiaobu.
(Alert, system temperature is too high, turning into tortoise mode soon)
Fang Lie.
Xiao Bu, my mom's here. Hurry up and leave.
Fang Lie.
I'll help you to stall.
Why did this child lock the door?
Xiao Bu. Where is she?
In...in the blankets.
Why must you lock the door when you're sleeping?
Mom.
Mom. I just woke up.
It's a good thing I brought the keys.
Why does it smell like meat?
Did you hide snacks again?
Mom.
Didn't you confiscate them all away?
Enough with your excuses.
Hurry.
Hand them over.
Mom.
It's said that the most important thing between mother and child
is trust between one another.
What you're doing now
is seriously affecting our relationship.
I can't deny that your guess is correct.
Take it quickly and leave. I still want to sleep.
Only one pack?
Only one.
The blanket is bulging so much.
Who're you fooling? -Mom. I know I'm wrong.
Fang Lie.
What interest are you having?
Mom. I'm sorry.
She's just here to chat with me, that's all.
What?
Mom's just outside that door
but you'd rather talk with this?
You don't even want to talk with your mom?
Mom.
We share a common language.
You can't compare to her.
What are you saying?
You mean to say that
I can't even compare with a tortoise?
Mom.
We can talk this out. Why're you...
You lock me in the house.
It's the only companion I have to talk to.
You can't be thinking of taking it away, right?
As long as you perform well,
I'll consider letting you out of your room.
There's no need to consider. Mom.
Look at me. I'm suffocated.
- I'm even having acne. - Alright.
Don't think you can fool me with that.
You always know how to deceive me.
Be good and repent.
All you do is eat.
You already have a double chin but you keep snacking.
Take them all away.
Hurry and leave.
You just keep eating every day.
Go.
Where's the little tortoise?
This...
(Why am I a tortoise again?)
What time is it?
It's already 12.30 AM.
Get off work earlier.
I can't.
The cooperation plan of The One Design has not been finalized yet.
If I don't complete it, I'll get fired again.
I can do this, bye-bye.
(Collaboration concept) The brand concept of Future Group is
advocate nature and self-confidence to show your unique self.
It's similar to your company's inspiration from nature,
only execute uniquely
creative ideas.
I understand the main reason why your company
rejected us before.
It's because we requested in the contract that
The One Design cannot provide packaging design services
for Future Group's competitors.
It seems like a monopoly on creative freedom.
But we've discovered a reason
for our highly-compatible collaboration.
If we collaborate,
it'll have a great effect because two minds are better than one.
The information was very comprehensive.
The argument's also professionally spoken.
It's clear that you've put a lot of effort into this.
But what you just said,
almost every company that speaks to us about cooperation
has the same set of rhetorics.
So for that matter, it's not convincing enough.
I even memorized it the whole night.
This...
Xiaoqi.
Other than these,
do you have anything else to say?
Am I allowed to?
In that case...
Can I express
my own opinion about this?
Of course, you can.
Mr. Wang, I really don't understand
why do you need to be in such a dilemma.
It's clear that collaborating
with us is the best option.
Why is that?
You want creative freedom
but you're the other party after all.
There will inevitably be restrictions from the first party.
Do you agree?
Most companies will
offer you creative freedom,
but in the process of cooperation,
they will try their best to restrict you.
You'll have to keep trying and making mistakes for their ideas.
As for us, we have studied your
style of work before choosing you.
It's been predetermined that our
preferences are the same.
In other words,
we exclusively want you.
We're also the one you need.
Isn't that enough?
Mr. Jiang.
You were right.
Ms. Chai here is indeed capable.
It's settled then.
I have nothing to be indecisive about anymore.
We'll sign the contract.
Does...does this mean that you agree?
Definitely.
Exclusivity and great fit are already mentioned.
If I'm still in a dilemma,
it's on me.
I believe in
Mr. Jiang's choice.
Thank you.
You didn't help me out
just because I'm your friend, right?
You need to believe in yourself.
Mr. Wang just now
was moved by your earnest speech.
Besides,
why would I put my company's reputation
on the line for this?
Then I should thank you, Mr. Jiang.
You said we were friends but you still call me Mr. Jiang.
Why don't
you call me Eleven from now on?
Alright, Eleven.
It's settled then, Xiaoqi.
You've worked hard today too.
It looks like it's getting late.
I'll get going then.
Bye-bye.
Are you alright?
I'm fine. I might be too tired.
I'll catch up on sleep when I get back.
Excuse me.
Wait.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Come in.
It's done.
That was quick.
Ms. Chai, how did you do it?
It's nothing since I'm so clever.
I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed.
Hold on.
No need to praise me.
The contract has been signed.
You'll have no reason to fire me in the future.
Good night.
Mr. Fang.
Is there an issue with the contract?
They did not revise any
rules in the contract.
At the same time, during the contract period,
they won't be collaborating with other competitors.
This shows that Ms. Chai has a way with words.
Besides, she's been working hard these few days.
She worked overtime until three in the morning yesterday.
(This is great.)
(The enthusiastic and resilient female lead)
(touched the male lead's cold heart.)
(If everything goes well,)
(they'll reconcile sooner than later.)
(Analyzing system)
I feel great.
As light as a feather.
What're you doing?
(Analyzing system)
My system has failed again recently.
I'm trying to find out the cause of it.
How strange.
I even succeeded in the contract signing.
He shouldn't be mad at me anymore, right?
You've already worked hard.
What other reasons can he use to trouble you again?
If it still doesn't work out, you can send him a small gift.
Sister Chai said so.
It's not weird giving lots of gifts to a person.
Small gift?
I've heard
Xiaoqi succeeded in the contract signing with The One.
As expected from the girlfriend candidate for Mr. Fang.
A sage really doesn't reveal their identity.
I have a friend working in The One.
She got a picture of Xiaoqi and the boss being close to each other.
It looks like the Leng-Qi couple will separate soon.
Xiaoqi sure is something.
Mr. Fang.
This...
Isn't it just a photo?
Moreover, it's just their backs.
It could just be a coincidence.
(This won't do.)
(I can't be affected by her anymore.)
Even if you say that it's just a photo.
Seeing what she's done recently,
she's not as innocent as she looks.
Drink some water first.
If you really feel
that Xiaoqi is negatively affecting your life,
you can try to minimize social contact with her first.
But you also said
that she was successful in the contract signing with The One.
You have no reason to fire her.
I can let Mr. Han hand over tasks to her.
What about your personal life?
Both of you are neighbors.
It's impossible not to see each other.
Neighbors.
That's right.
Thanks for reminding me.
Mr. Han.
(CEO Office)
Hello?
Sister Chai.
What happened?
I didn't catch it on the phone.
What's going on with Sister Chai?
The property owner called earlier.
This building has been bought by Fang Leng.
We were told to move out by today.
What?
It's okay. Don't cry anymore.
You both don't know this but
this place was given
to me by Yun Hai.
Before he left to go abroad,
I even helped him sell it to Chun Jiao.
Because I believe that
one day he'll come back to find me again.
That's why I'm always waiting
in this house for him.
But now.
He's not back.
This house is also gone.
Don't cry.
Take care of Sister Chai. I'll look for Fang Leng.
My home!
Mr. Fang.
No matter what decisions you have to make before,
you were never like this.
Why don't I call the property owner
and ask to not notify them first?
This way, Ms. Chai and the others
- won't have to move anymore. - Fang Leng.
It's too late now.
Fang Leng.
If it's me that you hate, you can just fire me.
But you must let Sister Chai and the others stay.
This is the deal between me and the property owner.
It has nothing to do with anyone else.
You don't know that Sister Chai has a deep affection for that house.
She kept waiting in that house
for her first love to come back.
You can hate me.
You can also fire me.
But can't you let Sister Chai
continue staying there?
There's nothing in this world that can't be done.
To wait is to deceive oneself.
Isn't it better to realize that earlier?
There will be people like this in this world
that'll keep waiting for another.
You don't believe in love yourself.
How can you deny others their love?
I don't believe in love?
The most unqualified person to
tell me about love right now, is you.
Who says I'm unqualified?
Do you really believe in love?
If you really believe it,
you wouldn't keep lying to me.
